INDIEWIRE

The leading news, information, and networking site for independent-minded filmmakers, the industry and moviegoers alike, Indiewire launched on July 15, 1996 and re-launched with a bold new approach on January 12, 2009 (press release). Two-time winner of the Webby Award for best film website(most recently, in 2012), Indiewire was lauded as a "must read" by Variety, branded the "online heartbeat of the world's independent film community" by Forbes, and dubbed "best indie crossroads" by film critic Roger Ebert. Twelve year after launching Indiewire, company founders sold the company to SnagFilms, the new company founded by Ted Leonsis and backed by Steve Case and Miles Gilburne.
